Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

The last one was a woman with a petite figure, which was in sharp contrast with the middle-aged man next to her.

She was wearing a light pink silk dress with delicate flower patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs. As she walked, the flowers seemed to sway gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of elegant floral fragrance.

She has a beautiful face and skin as white as snow. Under her curved eyebrows are a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes, which are gentle and smart.

Her long, shiny black hair fell behind her like a waterfall. She wore a jade hairpin in her hair. On the hairpin was a pearl that emitted a soft glow, making her look like a fairy from heaven.

The three judges came up to Jiang Qiong and the other two, nodded to them politely, and then began to carefully examine the pills they had refined.

The old man stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and a gentle spiritual power slowly flowed out from his hand, gently lifting up Jiang Qiong's Spirit Gathering Pill.

The spiritual power was like a layer of gauze, wrapping the pill inside. The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the perception of spiritual power, he carefully explored every detail of the pill.

His brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes slightly wrinkled, as if he was having a silent conversation with the pill.

The middle-aged man made seals with his hands and muttered something. A golden light shot out from his fingertips and merged into Nan Fengxue's Ice Heart Pill.

The light wandered inside the pill, clearly presenting the pill's structure and quality before his eyes.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he was obviously shocked by the quality of Bing Xin Dan.

The woman gently waved a colorful ribbon in her hand, and the ribbon revolved around Lang Nana's Star Huiyuan Dan like a nimble snake.

Wherever the ribbon went, the scent of the elixir was peeled away bit by bit. The woman closed her eyes, carefully feeling the scent and medicinal power of the elixir, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

After some careful investigation, the three judges stepped aside and began to communicate in a low voice.

Their expressions were sometimes serious and sometimes relaxed, as if they were discussing a very important issue.

After a moment, the old man turned around, faced the crowd, cleared his throat, and said: "After the joint testing of the three of us, the Soul Gathering Pill refined by Jiang Qiong is of high quality, with rich and pure spiritual power, reaching the level of a top-grade elixir;"

"The Ice Heart Pill refined by Nan Fengxue has a rich medicinal power and a significant effect on nourishing the mind. It is also a top-grade pill. The Starry Yuan Hui Yuan Pill refined by Lang Nana has just the right amount of star power integrated into it, and has an excellent effect on restoring spiritual power. It is also a top-grade pill."

When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed in amazement.

You know, in such a fierce alchemy competition, it is not easy to refine top-quality elixirs.

The old man continued, "The three of you all have superb alchemy skills, but based on the quality and difficulty of the pills, we finally decided that Jiang Qiong won the first place in this alchemy competition, Nan Fengxue won the second place, and Lang Nana won the third place."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause and cheers from the audience. The middle-aged man walked forward, and three exquisite jade boxes appeared in his hands, which he handed to Jiang Qiong and the other two.

He said: "This is the reward for this competition. The first place winner, Jiang Qiong, will receive a 'Spirit Gathering Jade Marrow'. This chalcedony contains rich spiritual power and is of great benefit to cultivation. The second place winner, Nan Fengxue, will receive a 'Ice Heart Orchid'. This Ice Heart Orchid can not only assist in the cultivation of the Ice Heart Technique, but also purify the body and mind. "

"The third place winner, Lang Nana, will receive a 'Star Fragment'. This Star Fragment can help you better utilize the power of the stars to improve the efficiency of alchemy and cultivation."

Jiang Qiong and the other two quickly took the jade box and bowed deeply to the three judges to express their gratitude.

They knew very well that this honor and reward was not only a recognition of their alchemy skills, but also a precious asset on their path of cultivation.

The applause and cheers from the audience gradually died down, but everyone's eyes were fixed as if attracted by a magnet, on the jade bottles containing top-grade elixirs in the hands of Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana.

Just then, a middle-aged man in gorgeous brocade robe strode onto the stage.

On his brocade robe, lifelike dragon patterns were carefully outlined with gold thread, and every line seemed to contain endless majesty.

The belt inlaid with huge jadeite around his waist made crisp and pleasant clinking sounds as he walked, and each sound seemed to announce his extraordinary identity and status.

"Everyone," the middle-aged man said in a powerful voice, which spread across the entire venue like ripples. "Today, we are fortunate to witness the birth of such a high-quality elixir. It is a blessing for practitioners like us. I am the steward of the City Lord's Mansion in Dan City. Following the order of the City Lord, I am willing to offer 100,000 spirit stones to buy the Soul Gathering Pill from young friend Jiang Qiong!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was instantly excited, and exclamations came one after another.
For most practitioners, this is a huge amount of wealth that requires years or even decades of hard practice and searching for opportunities to accumulate.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, an old man with a thin figure and a stern face slowly stood up.

He was wearing a black robe that looked plain and simple, but if you looked closely, the dark red flame pattern embroidered on the robe gave off a mysterious aura.

Although the old man was dressed in low-key clothes, the powerful aura he exuded made everyone present dare not underestimate him. "I am the elder of the Lieyan Sect. I am willing to pay 150,000 spirit stones to buy the Soul Gathering Pill from Jiang Qiong. This pill is crucial to the breakthrough of a core disciple of our sect. I hope you can help me."

The old man's voice was low and firm, and his deep eyes were shining with a determined light, as if he was announcing to everyone that he was determined to get the Soul Gathering Pill.

Jiang Qiong frowned slightly, her slender fingers tightly grasping the jade bottle containing the Soul Gathering Pill, thinking secretly in her heart.

These spirit stones will undoubtedly be of great help to his path of cultivation, allowing him to be ahead of many people in terms of cultivation resources.

But he knew in his heart that the value of this Spirit Gathering Pill was far more than that, and there might be a buyer waiting who could better maximize its value.

At this time, a woman in colorful clothes stood up gracefully.

Her face is delicate and charming, and her eyes are full of charm and shrewdness, just like the brightest stars in the night sky, making it impossible to look away.

Her red hair flying wildly like a burning flame adds a touch of mystery and charm to her.

"I am the master of Wanhua Valley. I heard that the spiritual power of this Soul Gathering Pill is rich and pure, which complements the unique cultivation method of our valley. I am willing to pay 200,000 spiritual stones, plus a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, in exchange for Master Jiang Qiong's Soul Gathering Pill." The woman's voice was gentle and graceful, but it was also full of unquestionable courage and determination. She gently held the thousand-year-old spiritual herb, which emitted a soft and lustrous light, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The crowd was amazed. The powerful vitality contained in the magical herb seemed to make people feel the accumulation of time and the gift of nature.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Qiong would be moved by the high price offered by the owner of Wanhua Valley, a burly man suddenly stood up, his voice as deafening as a bell: "I am the owner of Black Wind Village, and I offer 250,000 spirit stones! I don't believe that anyone dares to compete with me!"

The big man was wearing a black suit. Under the tight clothes, his muscles bulged high, as if containing endless power.

He exuded a strong bandit aura, with a big knife on his waist. The handle was inlaid with several blood-red gems, which flashed a dangerous and tempting light under the sunlight, as if telling the countless fights and battles this knife had experienced.

The audience immediately started talking about it, and some people were constantly amazed at the soaring price. "This Soul Gathering Pill is really popular. I didn't expect that such a small pill could be sold at such a high price."

"Yes, these big forces are fighting to the death for this elixir."

However, the price competition is far from over. A young man in a white robe stood up gracefully. His face was as white as jade, his temperament was gentle and elegant, and he gently waved a folding fan with a light landscape painting in his hand. Every movement revealed a leisurely and contented charm.

“I am the son of the dean of Qingfeng Academy. I am willing to pay 300,000 spirit stones and beg Brother Jiang Qiong to give the Gathering Spirit Pill to Qingfeng Academy.

Qingfeng Academy is willing to establish a deep relationship with Brother Jiang Qiong. If Brother Jiang Qiong needs anything in the future, Qingfeng Academy will do its best to help him. "The young man's words were neither humble nor arrogant, with a bit of the elegance and humility of a scholarly family, which made people feel good after hearing them.

Jiang Qiong became more and more conflicted. These offers were more tempting than each other, and each one made him excited.

But his intuition told him that there might be better opportunities waiting ahead.

Just as he was hesitating, the door of the auction house was slowly pushed open, and a tall and straight man with a cold face strode in.

He was wearing a black robe with golden runes embroidered on it. Each rune was glowing with a mysterious and powerful light, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

Behind the man were two attendants who were also dressed in black robes. Their eyes were as cold as ice, and they exuded a powerful and oppressive aura that made people shudder.

"I am the guardian of Tianyuan Sect," the man's voice was deep and powerful, as if it came from the Netherworld, with endless majesty and oppression, "Tianyuan Sect offers 500,000 spirit stones to buy Jiang Qiong's Gathering Spirit Pill."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence, and one could hear a pin drop. Five hundred thousand spirit stones was an incredible astronomical figure, far beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone was so shocked by the price that they were speechless, and secretly marveled at the wealth of the Tianyuan Sect.

Just when everyone thought that the owner of the Soul Gathering Pill had been decided, an old man in a golden robe slowly stood up.

His robe was embroidered with intricate and gorgeous golden patterns, and he wore a crown inlaid with countless gems on his head. He exuded an otherworldly and detached aura, as if he was an immortal walking slowly out of the long river of ancient time.

"I am the patriarch of the Taigu family. I offer you 600,000 spirit stones, plus a Taigu-level cultivation technique. I only ask you, Jiang Qiong, to give the Gathering Spirit Pill to my Taigu family."

The old man's voice was calm and majestic, and every word seemed to contain the accumulation of years and endless wisdom.

And that ancient-level cultivation technique made the heartbeats of all the practitioners present suddenly accelerate, and their eyes were filled with burning desire.

Jiang Qiong's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated rapidly. This ancient level of cultivation technique was undoubtedly a huge temptation that any practitioner had always dreamed of.

The powerful force and mysterious practice methods it contains are enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in a practitioner's path of practice.

However, Jiang Qiong always felt that there was something unfinished, as if there was a mysterious force guiding him.

So, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said: "Jiang Qiong is grateful for the kindness of all the seniors. But this Soul Gathering Pill also has a special and important meaning to me, please allow me to consider it again."

When everyone heard this, they all looked disappointed, but they didn't know what to say.

After all, Jiang Qiong is the owner of the Soul Gathering Pill, and he has the absolute right to decide who owns the pill.

At this moment, the Bingxin Pill in Nan Fengxue's hand also became the focus of everyone's competition.

A woman in a blue robe was the first to bid: "I am the Pavilion Master of Bingxin Pavilion. I am offering 100,000 Spiritual Stones to buy Miss Nanfengxue's Bingxin Pill. This pill is crucial to the inheritance and development of my Bingxin Pavilion. I hope the young lady can help me."

The woman's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes revealed a hint of eagerness and anticipation, as if this Bingxin Pill carried the future and hope of Bingxin Pavilion.

Then, an old man in a gray robe stood up and said, "I am the elder of Jingxin Temple. I offer you 150,000 spiritual stones. This Bingxin Pill will be of great help to the practice of a senior monk in my temple. Please give it to me, young lady."

The old man clasped his hands together with a compassionate and peaceful smile on his face, which seemed to contain endless wisdom and tolerance.

A middle-aged man in a purple robe was not to be outdone: "I am the Palace Master of Zixiao Palace. I offer two hundred thousand spirit stones, plus a precious marrow cleansing pill, and only ask Miss Nan Fengxue to sell the Ice Heart Pill to my Zixiao Palace."

There was a hint of arrogance and confidence in the eyes of the middle-aged man. The marrow cleansing pill was also an extremely precious and rare treasure, which instantly caused everyone to exclaim in amazement.

The appearance of the Marrow Cleansing Pill undoubtedly made the bidding more intense and exciting. Nan Fengxue listened quietly to the bids of the crowd, thinking secretly in her heart.
She understood that although the value of the Ice Heart Pill was not as great as the Gathering Spirit Pill, it was also made by her after she had spent countless efforts and endured many hardships.

She hopes to find a buyer who truly knows how to cherish it and maximize the value of this pill.

Just as everyone was competing fiercely for the Bingxin Pill, the Xingchen Huiyuan Pill in Lang Nana's hand also triggered a fierce bidding.

A young man in a silver robe was the first to bid: "I am the young master of the Xingchen Pavilion. I bid 80,000 spirit stones to buy Miss Lang Nana's Xingchen Huiyuan Pill. This pill has a great auxiliary effect on the cultivation method of my Xingchen Pavilion. I hope the lady will help me." (End of this chapter)
